Pu'u o Kila Lookout 4200' above the ocean

You can't tell where the ocean ends and the sky begins.
The last stop on the Koke'e Road (Hwy 550) is the Pu'u o Kila Lookout. From about 4200' you can look down Waimea Canyon out to the bay, see Mt. Wai'aleale covered in clouds, and watch the clouds dissipate as they blow over the lookout. Down below is the remote Na Pali Coast -- the unaccessible-by-road portion of Kaua'i. It's gorgeous and we were lucky enough to be there are on beautiful day.

I don't know what happened on Kaua'i, but roosters are apparently "wild" here and they are everywhere...even up at the Koke'e Museum and the lookout! I hear them cock-a-doodling all of the time...even at 4 a.m.
Here's a video from the lookout -- I tried to do a 360 but some tourists got in the way!
